Hello, @timothy-young! Welcome to the bestiestest place on the internet! (YES, I said it first!) 🙂 Wow, missionaries! That’s so amazing. What genres do you enjoy writing?

@Bluejay Why, thank you, Kind Lady. *grabs sundae and slurps it down* 😛 😉

@bluejay Congratulations! I can’t wait to read it. 🙂 *looks at sundaes* *inches closer* Can I…can I have a sundae? Please?*puppy dog eyes*

I’ve been a lot busier than I thought I’d be right now! But I am trying to work on the beginning of my story -trying to get it on the right track for success. 🙂 I hope my schedule will start to calm down a bit so I can get more work done! 😛

I’m not that great with writing poems or songs either, so I’ll leave this to the people who can. 😉 Haha. Sorry though. :/

@kate-flournoy, @daeus, and @hope
I definitely agree with you on this. While I do think it is important to have backstories for characters, you can’t include them all. However, while you are developing characters, you do need to have some of their past figured out. For example, say you have a particularly bitter, melancholy character. Why is he or…[Read more]

Writing a book so far is a confusing but fun process. The hardest part for me perhaps is to not overthink everything. I want it all to be perfect, but a perfect first draft is unrealistic, and not a very writer healthy hope …

Goodness, you said it! I struggle with the same thing. I want to make everything perfect in the first draft, and I w…[Read more]

@overcomer I’m wrapping up the planning stage for my novel, and then I’m moving into writing the first draft!

I like the Final Clash, and honestly, I like “Legend of the Shield.” I know you must have had reasons for renaming the book, but those are the ones I like. Sorry, I’m probably not being helpful. :/ Let me see if I can think of any other titles…
What about “Legend of the Clashing Shield?” Or maybe “The Clash of Kingdoms?” I don’t know…

@Emma-flournoy It’s not a problem! I’m not the best at responding in a…timely manner. 😉
What are some of your favorite books (someone probably asked you that already but anyway)?

*sneaks in* *peeks at topic* Hey… @Daeus, sorry I didn’t respond for the last couple weeks! I was gone for the first week, and I was really busy last week…
So back to Animal Farm. I think one of the areas that Orwell really does well is foreshadowing. In the beginning of the book, he puts in subtle warnings that the animal characters don’t…[Read more]

@winter-rose Ooo, I really like that!

Thank you, @overcomer. That is great advice and I’ll take it! I’m so thankful to have people to go to when I need help with my writing! Love y’all!

Hmm…I want to write at least half of my novel this summer. That might not be realistic because I have a lot going on this summer, but we’ll see. 🙂

@kate-flournoy I’d have to second what @daeus said. It would have been a great title, though (if Robert Frost hadn’t titled his poem “The Road Not Taken” 😉 ). You still have some great title ideas, though. Don’t give up yet! 🙂
